build thread for jamies dart..:)
march 28,2020
well after having this center section and axles laying in the basement ready to go for about 2 years now i figured i may as well put them in.. truth be told if this virus didn't have everything closed and us basically on lock down i probably would have found something else to do instead of the gear swap..:)
had my son come over today to give me a hand pulling the open 2:94 out and installed the 3:23 sure grip. when i had the converter built it was built to run the 3:23 gear... hopefully i'll feel a difference going from the 2:94 to the 3:23..
i also switched out the moser cut down C-Body axles i had done 25 years ago for a new set of Doctor Diff axles.. i figured they were about the only old thing on the car left and they have had the living **** beat out of them for 25 years now..lol. i also replaced all the studs in the housing with ones i got from doctor diff also..
man i hate the smell of gear oil and the ford additive is even worse..lol
out with the old:
in with the new :)
this **** smells bad..
back on all fours.. i'll take it for a ride when it stops pouring out. i'll re-torque the wheels and put the doggies back on..
may do the speedo gear in tomorrow. just didn't feel like it today.
